The Milk Carton Kids – On The Mend (Guitar)

C                      G
The mice tell bedtime stories

F             C
Lullabies turned blue

E7                  Am G   F             C
A crib song for the baby who has figured out the ruse

C                            G             E        F7
I travelled half way 'round the world to tell a story with no end

F               C   
The dirt under a nation

F      G         C
Forsaken, on the mend

Am               Em            F7            C
I could say that for a moment it all made perfect sense

Am                 Em      F        G
No one holding posture, nothing heaven-sent

Am                  Em                  E7           F7
Hold the hand that leads you, there's no god here to believe

  F                C             F  G       C
What matters moves around us in the air we breathe.

C                    G
There's nowhere left to sit

F                           C
It's the dirt ground or a broke-down bench

E7               Am                  F           C
Four walls and a roof- they say the house that Jesus Built

C                  G             E7       F7
A Child knows the kindness of a woman at her end

F                    C
In Song she found salvation

F     G           C
Forsaken, on the mend

Am                       Em           F7       C
I could say that for a moment it all made perfect sense

Am            Em     F          G
No unholy posture, nothing heaven-sent

Am                  Em           E7               F7
Hold the hand that leads you, there's no god here to believe

F                  C                F  G   C
What matters moves around us in the air we breathe

F                   C               F    G    Am        C
What matters moves around us in the air we breathe 

  F   G       C         
In the air we breathe.
